Q&A With Kathleen Gaffney, Manager, Eaton Vance Management’s Multisector Income Fund

TedTed
in Fund Discussions
FYI: Bond investors aren’t exactly known as risk-seekers.

But when interest rates and inflation could be on the rise, playing it too safe in a “vanilla” bond index fund may not cut it.

That drives the strategy for Eaton Vance Management’s Multisector Income Fund (EVBAX). The fund, which was founded in 2013, approaches fixed-income investing by taking positions in a variety of bonds and other types of debt, including those issued by companies and governments outside the U.S. It also buys stocks and doesn’t shy away from higher-yield, and therefore higher-risk, bonds.
Regards,
Ted
